La Torre Storica

“Great location! ”

We loved this medieval tower. Room had everything we needed, situated opposite a quiet Piazza. Host was truly welcoming and helped us out with some flight issues. Also recommended places for food/drinks. Highly recommend.

“A special place to stay”

La Torre Storica was far better than what we expected. It's perfectly located in the main square of the city really and a short drive from the airport.

The venue has a great story behind it and the owners succeeded in making the place feel special. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. You get a beautiful story, comfort, location, personality, peace and quiet all topped by a helpful host. Parking is a bit hard to find if you arrive in late afternoon, but that's quite normal for Italy ;)

“Um toque medieval”

O B&B foi instalado com o aproveitamento de parte da estrutura da antiga muralha, na praça central da cidade velha. Os apartamentos não têm elevador, mas contam com espaço razoável e conforto. O banheiro, improvisado na estrutura quase milenar, é pequeno e pouco funcional. A decoração de época completa o ambiente com paredes de pedra. No terraço ainda se tem uma vista de toda a região até o litoral. O pior problema que enfrentamos foi um defeito no condicionador de ar. Em um dos quartos ele não funcionou uma noite e pudemos ver como fica fria a estrutura de pedra (era início de fevereiro). O café é bem simples, servido com voucher em uma lanchonete do outro lado da praça. O estacionamento é longe, em uma oficina de carros. Vale apenas a experiência de ficar hospedado em uma antiga muralha.

“I got pneumonia from the cold!!!!”

The idea of transforming this useless piece of property into an B&B it is something I really admire, congratulations to the owner, instead of letting it crumble, they invest some money and transformed some kind of old town wall into an B&B. There is no reception, you have to call in advance to let them now at what hour you are coming. The stairs are really narrow & tight you can fit only 1 person on the stairs, adding an 35 kg suitcase to the situation, I let you do the math, :). The gentleman that welcomed us was very warm & friendly guided us a bit through he history of this location, while issuing the invoice (we paid at check-in, I think it is the only way, we paid in cash, could not pay with credit card) (did not care too much about this, but what if we did not had any cash on us .... ?!?) As I stated earlier, the B&B is a part of some kind of old wall (tower) made from stone blocks. We stayed here 1 night in November 2016, when we entered the room the heating system was not functioning (A/C system made both cold & heat), you could feel the cold through your bones. I think should have been normal with at least 3-4 hours of our arrival somebody should have come and turn on the A/C. The bathroom is one of the smallest I have ever seen in my life, but it got the job done. From a group of 6, I was the only one that got pneumonia after this bad experience, so let's just say that it was may fault, I should have brought with me an sleeping bag, :). The scenery it is idyllic, you feel like in a real castle, big thumbs for this!!! The breakfast consisted of 1 cafe & 1 croissant at the bar just opposite of the B&B (50 meters away). We used this location as an intermediary location to our way to Matera. If I would be back again in the area probably I would search for another location but do not let my bad experience stop you from trying this B&B, it will promote the tourism in the area, and the money would be used probably by the local community.
